About Empadinha de espinafre
Empadinha de Espinafre is a savory Brazilian pastry filled with a creamy spinach mixture and encased in a buttery, flaky crust. It combines fresh spinach with simple seasonings, often enriched with cheese or cream for added flavor. Popular in Brazilian cuisine as a snack or appetizer, these bite-sized treats reflect the country’s love for comforting, flavorful foods. Spinach, the star ingredient, provides a rich source of vitamins A, C, and K as well as iron and fiber, contributing to bone health and digestion. However, the crust, typically made with refined flour and a generous amount of butter or margarine, can be high in saturated fats and calories, making moderation important. Empadinhas are a delightful balance of nutrient-packed greens and indulgent pastry, offering a taste of Brazil in every bite while highlighting the need for balanced consumption as part of a healthy diet.
